This is beautiful and true. I remember when some returned they were spit on, what a shame. God bless all veterans.

Thank you for your comment, Jani. Hamburger Hill was one of the many turfs fought over by the American soldiers over in Vietnam. A movie was made of the same name that helped inspire me to write this poem.

Very true, thank you always exploring. It was a shame to hear how some who returned home and had to experience the mistreatment decided to go back to Vietnam because of the distance imposed by their friends and families.

These men are heros.

Great poem, sad but true in many cases.

Thank you, 007. This was one of my harder ones to write. I must have gone through several rough drafts, but then I finally found the right words.

I was in D.C. a few years ago on Memorial Day, so I went to visit the Wall. Your poem really brings back the memory of that incredibly emotional experience. Well done!

I've never been to see the wall but I would be proud to visit someday. I'm glad you got to see it on Memorial Day. I'm glad you liked the poem, thank you for reading!
